Hi,

While trying to form 4 node cluster,the cmquerycl command fails and gives the following error message:

Error 231 (Software caused connection abort) performing security validation. Please verify that identd is running properly.
Unable to connect to node hpia4: Software caused connection abort.

The complete output of cmquerycl command:
root@hpia4/ >cmquerycl -v -C /etc/cmcluster/ruby.ascii -q quorums -n hpia1 -n hpia2 -n hpia3 -n hpia4
Looking for other clusters ... Done

Not probing node hpia4 as it is currently unreachable.

Though i was able to rlogin from hpia4 to itself and also on other nodes(hpia1,2,3)

if i remove hpia4 from querrying then it works fine and i get the ascii file

final message from cmquerycl:
Writing cluster data to /etc/cmcluster/tmp.ascii.

so it seems something is wrong with this node only.

please let me know what else information i should provide.

Shalom,

Your information is pretty complete but does fail to list the OS uname -a and the version of serviceguard.

swlist -l product | grep -i serviceguard

There are some enhancements required for certain newer versions for the last two lines of your inetd.conf

Recommendations.

Try the command again excluding the troublesome node. If it works then concentrate on that node.

remove the binary cluster configuration file from the troublesome node and try again with the full command.

Hi steven,

we figured the problem !
one of the module(rng) failed to load.
after manually loading it using
$ kcmodule rng=loaded
i could querry the node(hpia4)
